Police in Sask. see increase in theft of diesel filters from school buses

Jan 6, 2018 | 1:17 PM

REGINA, SK. – Police in Saskatchewan say they are investigating a new trend in thefts — people stealing diesel filters off of school buses.

In September, the Regina Public School Board reported that 18 buses were vandalized.

Later, diesel filters were stolen off of school buses near Saskatoon.

The filters, which remove soot from the engine, contain platinum and rhodium — precious metals that can be recovered.

Police say the thefts are not common, but recommend people who own large diesel vehicles, including farm equipment, to take precautions.
